Gaming mousepads do more than protect the desk or mouse-feet. Their construction methods intentionally enhance mouse glide, reduce it, or provide balance of speed and control. Speed (or glide) pads use a tightly woven, often coated surface designed to reduce friction on the mice skates – preferred by athletes with low mouse sensitivity for rapid, sweeping motions like flick shots to be even smoother. Control pads use a more open weave pattern to increase friction, generally along the X-axis, to suit athletes looking for better handling of mouse micro-adjustments.
Applying our 10 years of esports product design knowledge, we took everything we knew about mice and combined it with insights from the hundreds of athletes using our products. We designed a surface carefully balanced, thoughtfully premium, and performance-focused to support the next wave of esports champions.
Logitech G design and product teams carefully analyzed athletes biomechanics and surveyed dozens of pros to map out the first PRO Series mousepad features and dimensions. A year in, we went back to the drawing board to ensure we got it right. As a result, PRO X CONTROL features a unique omnidirectional knit pattern to provide balanced grip & glide at every angle, useful for every athlete.
